Two new profile widgets coming in the next #OpenScience flavour release: πŸ“„ Most Recent Publication: showcase your latest work ⭐ Most Cited Publication: highlight your most cited publication πŸ”§ Quantitative metrics now hidden by default while we consider removing them entirely ( discussion here: ) ✨ New settings panel lets users toggle each widget on/off individually
As we integrate #OpenAlex data into the #Bonfire #OpenScience flavor, we're displaying familiar metrics: works count, citations, h-index, research topics, institutional affiliations... These might be exactly what you need, or perhaps just a starting point. What additional information would help you find collaborators or understand someone's work better? We're opening this design process to the open science community. Share what works, what doesn't, what's missing. [@open_science]( ) 1/2 image

We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism. Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby. Imagine your local fablab or community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there. πŸ”§ This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together πŸ”₯ #Geosocial #CommonsEconomy #Fediverse image
Taking a quick detour from our 1.0rc3 milestone work! πŸ›€οΈ This morning we added a small but meaningful feature: πŸ”— Link previews now display the author's fediverse account when available. ➑️ Next up: Author attribution controls in Bonfire's verification settings, so writers can decide exactly how they're credited when their articles travel across the fediverse. ✍️ It will be available in next release to test it out! image
What if you could keep using the tools built for your needs while opening them to your community or the broader fediverse on your terms? With Mosaic, we partner with you to build custom Bonfire extensions that connect your existing tools to the fediverse. πŸ“£ Details:
